Background: To confirm verbal violence experience in dental hygiene students and to verify its influence on their self-esteem and career identity. Methods: Data were collected using a structured self-reported questionnaire targeting 180 dental hygiene students at M University. Descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis were performed using SPSS WIN 25.0. Results: Older students reported that they experienced verbal violence more frequently during clinical training, especially those who were dissatisfied with clinical training. The students experienced verbal violence more frequently from dental hygienists than from dentists and patients. Dental hygiene students had high self-esteem and career identity. The students who were majorly satisfied with clinical training had higher self-esteem and career identity than those who were dissatisfied. Dental hygiene students had lower self-esteem and career identity when they experience verbal violence more frequently from dentists and dental hygienists during clinical training and clinical practice. Conclusion: An intervention program needs to be developed to prevent verbal violence against dental hygiene students and a strategy to increase their self-esteem and career identity is required.

이 연구는 치과임상 이외의 분야에 진출한 치과위생사들을 대상으로 심층면담을 통해 졸업을 앞둔 치위생(학)과 학생들에게 들려주고 싶은 조언을 다음과 같이 네 가지로 정리할 수 있었다. 치과임상 이외의 분야에 진출한 치과위생사들은 학생들의 졸업 후 진로가 치과임상에 국한되는 것이 아니라 다양한 분야로 진출할 수 있다는 것을 강조하였다. 치과임상 이외의 분야로 진출하더라도 치과임상 경험은 해보는 것이 필요하다는 공통된 의견을 주었다. 왜냐하면 치과위생사로서의 치과임상적인 경험을 발판으로 삼아야 우리분야에서 전문적인 역량을 발휘할 수 있기 때문이라고 하였다. 진로를 결정할 시기는 졸업을 앞두고 급하게 생각할 것이 아니라, 치과임상실습을 경험한 후 충분한 시간을 가지고 자신의 능력과 적성에 맞는 길을 생각해 보길 권하였다. 학교 '성적'보다는 자신의 '적성'을 찾고, 올바른 '인성'을 길러서 실제 현장에서 그 역량을 제대로 발휘할 수 있는 '실력'을 갖추기를 바랐다.

Background: Career success is the psychological achievement associated with an individual's work. Protean career management behavior is the behavior of managing individual careers in order to achieve individual career goals. The purpose of this study was to clarify the career success of dental hygienists as perceived by clinical dental hygienists and to compare the relationship between career success and protean career management behavior. Methods: Nationwide convenience samples of clinical dental hygienists were obtained; 354 people were surveyed online, and the data of 350 people were finally analyzed. The perception of career success of dental hygienists was assessed using a multiple response method. T-test, ANOVA, and χ2 tests were performed to investigate the differences and relationships between protean career management behavior and career success according to the general characteristics. Results: Career success was recognized by clinical dental hygienists as "income", "work proficiency", "patient consultation", "self-satisfaction", and "recognition by superiors" in order. There were significant differences in protean career management behavior according to general characteristics (p<0.05). Higher career management behavior was common in those higher in age, in married participants, in those with higher educational background, and in those with a higher career, better position, and more job change experience (p<0.05). Among the variables of career success perceived by clinical dental hygienists, "work proficiency" had a significant effect on "career management behavior" (p<0.05). "Work proficiency" and "recognition by superiors" were significant in "protean technological development behavior," and they also influenced actual behavior (p<0.05). Conclusion: The relationship between dental hygienists' career success and protean career management behavior was clarified. Dental hygienists performed career management behaviors to develop work ability and skills. In addition, the relationship between career management behavior and long-term employment was confirmed.

본 연구는 사물인터넷에서 치위생과 학생을 대상으로 자아존중감이 임상실습관련 무력감과 진로정체감 사이의 관계에 영향을 주는지 확인하고자 하였다. 충청지역에 소재한 대학에 재학 중인 치위생과 학생 172명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 임상실습관련 무력감과 자아존중감 그리고 진로정체감 간의 상관관계를 확인하기 위해 피어슨의 상관관계분석을 시행하였고, 위계적 회귀분석을 이용하여 임상실습관련 무력감과 진로정체감 관계에서 자아존중감의 매개효과를 확인하였다. 연구결과 임상실습관련 무력감은 자아존중감과 진로정체감에 유의한 부적 상관관계가 있고 자아존중감과 진로정체감은 정적 상관관계가 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 자아존중감은 임상실습관련 무력감과 진로정체감 사이의 관계에서 부분적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 임상실습에 참여하기 전 치위생과 학생들에게 자아존중감 향상을 위한 다양한 온라인 기반 자아존중감 향상 프로그램 마련이 필요하다.

And Forgarty's 8th integrated model, out of 10 ones, was selected to delve into the practical role of dental hygienist in detail. The findings of this study were as follows: 1. The three age groups had a significantly different opinion on the significance of individual subjects. The dental hygienists of thirty six and over found the basic and preventive public dental care courses most important, and the 31~35 age group placed most stock in education and research. Overall, the post-analysis results showed that prevention and clinical courses were considered most vital, followed by education and fundamental courses. 2. There was a significant gap between four groups from the different work places in their view of the weight of the individual subjects. According to the post-analysis, the dental hygienists from the general hospitals, public dental clinics and their branches gave more weight to fundamental, education and research areas. Those who were with the dental clinics, dental hospitals and general hospitals put higher value on clinical course than the dental hygienists from the public dental clinics and their branches. 3. Two groups with a different career also had a different outlook on the importance of the individual subjects. The post-analysis results illustrated that the dental hygienists who had worked for three years or more put higher stress on the fundamental course than those with a less career, and the dental hygienists with a five-year or higher career attached more importance to the education and research field than those with a smaller career. 4. There was a significant difference between the three age groups in their clinical role. The post-analysis results indicated thai the younger dental hygienists were more of assistants than of professionals, as they chiefly took X-ray photograph, handled treatment materials or performed treatment-related works. Overall, handling treatment materials was most common. 5. The three groups from the different work places significantly varied in their clinical role. According to the post-analysis, those from the dental clinics and dental hospitals took more x-ray photographs, handled more treatment materials and performed more relevant works, compared to those from the general hospitals, public dental clinics and their branches. 6. The two groups with a different career differed significantly in their clinical role. The post-analysis results suggested that the dental hygienists with a less career played an assistant role more, which handled treatment materials or carried out other relevant works. 7. The fundamental courses (I) and (II), preventive class (I) and (II) and its practice course were regarded as integrated subjects that they should take 10 offer preventive treatment, which was one of the dental hygienist missions. What's needed to act as dental-care educators was the basic courses (I) and (II), dental hygiene education and its practice. Finally, integrated clinical courses (I) and (II) and clinical practice were viewed as necessary for their role performance as dental treatment collaborators.
